GamesRadar: The 10 worst consoles ever

"Home videogame consoles have been around for well over 30 years now, and in an industry that moves this fast, that means a lot of wreckage left smoldering by the side of the road. A lot. Those of us who follow the console-gaming industry tend to view the last three decades as a race between companies like Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony and Microsoft, but in fact they've just been the last ones left standing - for every one of their successes, there's about five or six other consoles and companies that were almost immediately abandoned and forgotten."

hahahaha yes because Microsoft push Hour of Victory and Bomberman as a AAA title right? and all the xbox fans only said "wait to hour of victory come out" hahaha denial sonykids, i remember your wordS "wait for LAIR" and Sony "LAIR is going to be awesome, a AAA" hahaha FLOP!!!

@Ambient: "The Whole people are buying ps3 for bluray is complete bs. Lets see hd dvd players Sold 1 million units a lot of which were add ons from GAMERS who happen to own hi def tvs. If Bluray wasn't included it's not like it would have sold much more, and again most of them would've been gamers anyhow. So far Ps3 sold not 1 but 10 million you do the math smart guy."

lmao at the thought of there being some one dumb enough out there who believes old people would buy a video game system to play movies. Old people aren't really all that interesting in HD to begin with, and they especially don't want a player that to them is overly complicated. The advantage of the ps3 is not its price tag anymore, but the ability to upgrade the system, which is something a semi savvy tech person who mostly likely plays video games would know how to do not an old person.

No but now that we're on the topic take a guess what system old people do like? That would be the wii so if you're going to thank them then thank them for helping the sales for gamecube version 1.5.

Shouldn't the worst console be the one thats the worst hardware(xbox 360)

it did say "The 10 worst consoles ever" do you see games in that title? and with the HD-DVD drive wi-fi and more i think that be more then $400....and xbox live (like 5 years) so thats $200.. it dont look so good and didnt xbox 360 have heaps of bad games in its first year??(other then gears) dont make yourself look like a fool.

man i had the 32x and i was let down when the dropped. i also loved my jaguar but really couldn't stand the control's. they were to bulky. I wonder why they didn't put in the coleco vision with the atari 2600 add on.

uh^^^...Sony was sued...and they got the manufacturing issues under control almost immediately...MS has spent a ton of money on warranty stuff, but apparently is still producing systems that break relatively quickly...

not saying the 360 deserves a spot...but being that it is 100% the most unreliable mass produced console in the history of the industry...and that this is based on everything BUT games (it claims every console has at least some great games, leaving that variable as irrelavant)...there is little argument against it not being on there...

3DO was an awesome system. I still got that mofo. The only beef I had with it was when you had a friend over to play a game. The additional controlers didn't plug into the system, instead they plugged into the other person's controler.

Dreamcast was my favorite system of all time until the PS3 came out. Dreamcast revolutionized hardware! Playing a game like Madden you could pick your plays from the screens on your controller! If you were playing a RPG you could take the screen thingy in your controller out and level your guy until you got home. It was just amazing... Plus they had Marvel vs Capcom 2, Shenmue and the best version of Soul Calibur.
